According to the Oxford Dictionary, Sexual Selection by definition is “Natural selection arising through preference by one sex for certain characteristics in individuals of the other sex”. The existence of it has aged back since the dawn of life, but it was not studied until Charles Darwin proposed his book The Origin of…

He felt that humans are social animals that are driven to produce in a way that benefited society, and that human nature is “expressed in a drive to spontaneously and creatively produce products in a manner that is conducive to social and…

matter and slowly, through the pure process of nature, began to form complex creatures (n.p., 2002). In other words, complex individuals were all derived from simplistic ancestors. Darwin assumed that evolution happened through the process of natural selection, in which beneficial mutation are passed on to the future generations (n.p., 2002). Over time, the accumulation of mutations turn the organism into a completely different creature and not just another variation of the original species.…

Similar to online dating sites, Tinder and similar apps (i.e. Hot or Not) have been created, geared toward 17 – 24 year olds who are looking for a love connection.

Prerequisites for this experimentation was to have a single subject who had never used Tinder before. I decided to conduct this experiment with both my subject and I in the Haggett Hall Lounge to see the interaction of the other…

Charles Darwin is the father of evolution by natural selection and was seen as a figurehead for logical and pure reasoning. Even today the image of Darwin is one of the most circulated and recognizable images. In the nineteenth-century Darwin had a cultish following from the public, but that did not mean that everyone accepted his work as fact. Those who did accept his work were quick to expand the ideas presented by Darwin and use them to justify their own cause. One of these was the use of…

University and wrote the thesis of “Natural Selection and Social Behaviour”. He is best known for his work on social theory based on natural selection, which includes deception and self-deception. His influences are specially from Charles Darwin and Hamilton. Trivers also proposed the following theories: reciprocal altruism, parental investment, facultative sex ratio determination and parent-offspring conflict, and I will explain some of them down below. Natural selection is considered a…
